      Change the name of a local account
      To change how your name appears on the lock screen:
      Select the Start button, type Control Panel, and select Control Panel from the list of results.
      Select User Accounts, and then select Change account type.
      Select the account you want to change, select Properties, and then enter a new name for User name.
      Select OK.

      I was also having trouble changing my account user name. Havent been able to change it since I bought my computer (2yeard ago😓) But I saw a tutorial by majorgeeks and it helped me!
      Here is step by step!
      Window key + r
      Type: netplwiz
      Click "properties"
      Input the name that u want in the "Full name" section and that's it! Restart your computer and you should be able to see your new account name

    But there is one major issue, every time I open a folder or text document on my PC it directly says "Users\*OldAccountNameHere*" even though I think it's supposed to be my new updated name. Tried everything, hope you can help me because my old account name is my last name and it makes me uncomfortable seeing that when I open the folders.
